Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: apt
Version: 0.6.45ubuntu14 on Edgy
Currently, as has been referred to at debian bug 372818, apt-cache
policy gives the paths of the remote repositories which provide a
particular package. However, I am working here with many local
repositories for various reasons, and apt-cache does not list their
addresses at all. (Should be easy enough to pull those addresses from
sources.list.)
For example:
$ apt-cache policy basket
basket:
Installed: 1.0-1
Candidate: 1.0-1
Version table:
*** 1.0-1 0
500 file: Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
0.5.0-6 0
500 file: edgy/universe Packages
500 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com edgy/universe Packages
The local sources of the package:
file:///home/samjnaa/ab/deb-edgy-homemade-backports/ for 1.0-1 and
file:///mnt/_ubuntudiscs/rum1/ for 0.5.0-6
are not displayed at all. It just says: "file:" which is not at all
helpful. Please fix this as the field is intended to be shown to users
for the very purpose of knowing the repositories which provide the file.
